Real Estate News Roundup: Incentives Lose Appeal as Major Projects Restart

The real estate market is showing mixed developments as various incentive policies have yet to sufficiently encourage buyers to commit. Despite developers offering discounts of 20 to 30 percent, interest-rate support and extended payment schedules, buyers remain cautious about home prices, capital costs and investment prospects. Meanwhile, brokerage companies continue to face cash flow constraints and declining transactions, forcing them to cut staff and scale back distribution activities.

Real estate transactions in the fourth quarter are also forecast to potentially double, supported by improved home-buying demand, a more abundant supply and stimulus policies. In terms of policy and urban development, Ho Chi Minh City is expected to extend the estimated im...
